Self-Cleaning Cycle
Before
Starting
Self-Clean
A self-cleaning
oven cleans itself with high temperatures
that are well above those used for normal
cooking.
The high
cleaning
temperature
eliminates
soils completely
or reduces
them to
a fine
powdered
ash that you can later easily wipe
away with a damp
cloth.
Adhere
to the following
precautions
when
running
the self-
clean
cycle:
•
Allow
the oven
to cool
before
cleaning.
°
Wear
rubber
gloves
when
cleaning
any
exterior
parts
of
the oven
manually.
•
Do not use oven
cleaners
or protective
coatings
in or
around
the oven
interion
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material
of the oven door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
-Fig. 1-
DO not use any cleaning
materials
on the door gasket.
Leaving chemical
residue can damage
the door gasket.
Do not force the oven door open. The automatic
door
locking system can be damaged.
Remove all utensils and any aluminum
fall from the
oven. These items cannot withstand
high cleaning
temperatures.
This oven
comes
with
lubricated
porcelain
oven
racks,
which
can
remain
in the oven
during
the self-clean
cycle.
Do not clean
this vegetable
oil lubrication
off the racks.
It
is important
that
the sides
of the oven
racks always
have
a light
coating
of vegetable
oil. To maintain
optimal
rack
performance,
re-apply
a thin
layer
of vegetable
oil
to the
sides
of the rack
after
every
self-dean
cycle
or when
the
rack
becomes
difficult
to slide.
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting
a self-clean
cycle. To dean,
use hot, soapy
water
and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected
to high temperatures.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom
with soap and water. These
areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on.
Do not allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as mill<, tomatoes,
sauerkraut,
fruit juices or pie
filling)
to remain on the porcelain
surface,
they may leave
a dull spot even after
cleaning.
During the self-clean
cycle, the outside of the appliance
can
become
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children
unattended
near the appliance.
•
DO
NOT
line the oven wails,
oven
racks,
bottom
or any
other
part
of the appliance
with
aluminum
foil.
Doing
so
will
stop
heat
distribution,
produce
poor
baking
results
and
cause
permanent
damage
to the oven
interior
(aluminum
foil will
melt
to the interior
surface
of the
oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the
automatic
door locking
system. Use caution when opening
the door after the self-clean
cycle is finished. The oven
may still be VERY HOT.
"
The health
of some
birds
is extremely
sensitive
to the
fumes
given
off during
the self-cleaning
cycle
of any
appliance.
Move
birds
to another
well-ventilated
room.

What
to Expect
during
Cleaning
While
the oven is in operation,
the oven heats to
temperatures
much higher than those used in normal
cooking.
Sounds of metal expansion
and contraction
are
normal.
Odor is also normal
as the food soil is being
removed.
Smoke may appear
through
the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers
are not wiped
up before cleaning,
they
may flame
and cause more smoke and odor than usual.
This is normal
and safe
and should not cause alarm.
If
available,
use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning
cycle.
